Bug 2788 – return val not passable via ref const in other method

This used work perfectly fine, why not anymore ? (since 2.027) [CODE] int getVar() { return 2; } void foo(ref const int _p) {} void main() { foo(getVar()); } [/CODE] Error: function main.foo (ref const const(int) _p) does not match parameter types (int) Error: getVar() is not an lvalue

ref const doesn't make any sense with basic types. But it makes sense for struct and static array temporaries. The weird thing is struct literals count as lvalues in D2, so this works: struct A {} void foo(ref A a) {} void main() { foo(A()); } while calling the following doesn't: static A bar() { return A(); } foo(bar());

`getVar()` is an rvalue, therefore it cannot be passed to a ref parameter. Therefore the bug report is invalid. >struct A {} >void foo(ref A a) {} >void main() >{ > foo(A()); >} This doesn't compiler and neither does this: >static A bar() >{ > return A(); >} > >foo(bar()); Closing as invalid.
